Burning, Child of the Unicorn

When Quirrell's fingertips touched the drop of golden-red blood, a burning sensation surged through his soul.

It felt like being scalded whole in boiling water.

But Voldemort didn't care; he could completely tolerate the pain.

Whether it was the pain from the multiple Dark Magic Transfiguration he had undergone, or the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart when creating those Horcrux, none of them were as intense as this burning sensation.

Moreover, Voldemort had been struck by a rebounding Avada Kedavra, and the pain that nearly shattered his soul far surpassed all other suffering in the world.

Upon witnessing the strange creature's counterattack, and as a wisp of golden flame appeared, Quirrell instinctively used Apparition, confident in his teleportation speed.

His figure began to distort and blur just as the golden flames were about to touch him.

However, just as "Quirrell" was about to transform into a fish in space and teleport to other corners...

A sluggish, intensely solidified feeling enveloped him.

It was as if the space, which was originally flowing like water, had suddenly frozen into a block of ice.

The fish that wanted to swim and wag their tails were forced to stay still.

This unprecedented experience prevented Quirrell from reacting immediately.

"Zzz--"

In that fleeting pause, the tip of the flame seemed to be drawn to the golden-red blood droplet.

The next instant, the blood droplet suddenly burst open.

Using that drop of blood as fuel, the golden flames instantly expanded and extended, directly sticking to "Quirrell's" fingers, followed by his palm and wrist...

Pain!

A sharp pain struck Voldemort's soul directly.

If the previous burning sensation was like boiling water, then this golden fire brought something else entirely...

Lava!

But this excruciating pain, no less than tearing the soul apart, shattered the numbness. Quirrell flicked his wand, and an invisible blade shot out.

Brush!

The entire arm was severed cleanly at the shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, the golden flames had already engulfed the forearm and were about to continue upwards past the elbow.

Quirrell pointed his wand.

The remaining part of his large arm, which had not yet been burned, suddenly exploded, turning into a long carpet of blood and flesh that covered his figure.

With his eyes darting towards the female Unicorn covered in cuts, Quirrell decided to settle for second best and proceed with his original plan to take the blood of the unborn child.

"Tick-tock."

Dark red blood oozed from Quirrell's eyes and nostrils, and his magical power immediately weakened.

Damn it!

"This useless body!"

Without the slightest hesitation, "Quirrell" transformed into a wisp of black smoke and flew directly into the sky.

He didn't even glance at the female Unicorn again, nor did he consider risking obtaining the Unicorn fetus's pure, fresh blood.

Given its current state and the rate at which its magic is depleting, if it lingers any longer, Quirrell will find it difficult to shake off that strange and powerful creature!

Seeing the enemy fly away, Liuguang Auspicious Cloud's feet, and he was about to take flight to give chase.

But it stopped and immediately appeared beside Selenia.

He summoned two flames, one covering his own wounds and the other covering Selenia's entire body.

The flames were still reddish-gold, but the gold was now more vibrant and intense.

At the wound on Liuguang's waist and abdomen, black mist mixed with green fog was steamed out, and flames immediately burned it away.

Selenia's condition was much more serious; her body was covered with incisions of varying sizes and depths, the deepest being in her abdomen, almost revealing what was inside...

Liuguang spat out two wads of saliva, which flew into Selenia's mouth and abdomen respectively.

As colorful poisonous gas emanated from Selenia's body, her wounds began to heal under the influence of the Qilin Saliva.

But it's too slow.

The mixed venom could not be cleared away by the Purifying Fire in a short time and continued to violently corrode Selenia's body.

and...

Looking at Selenia's abdomen, Liuguang's anxiety deepened.

Selenia let out a soft moan, a sound so faint yet filled with pain.

Understanding Selenia's meaning, Liuguang was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to respond to its child...

A miniature Auspicious Cloud parted, and a drop of golden-red blood from its own wound floated into Selenia's abdomen.

After glancing at the scene inside again, Liuguang tried to comfort Selenia:

"It's alright, it's alright..."

"Wait a moment."

The Liuguang caused a large amount of Purifying Fire to erupt from its surface, which then seeped into the surrounding walls of fire, making them burn even more intensely. At the same time, it blocked out the sky, forming a fiery dome.

The next instant, Liuguang's figure vanished without a trace.

Just a few seconds later, it returned, this time with a young wizard putting on a robe beside it.

As Lucien pulled out his wand, he listened to Liuguang quickly recount what had just happened.

The incident lasted only three to five minutes, but its level of danger was astonishing.

Lucien's eyes grew increasingly dark and brooding. He waved his wand, causing the collapsed Asterion to float to Selenia's side.

They were just so unlucky. There were plenty of Unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, but they were the ones Voldemort targeted.

They should have tied them into their own gourds back then!

If Liuguang hadn't happened to run into us...

Lucien turned his head to look at the little Qilin, especially the wound on its waist and abdomen.

"Master, I'm fine, my wounds are almost healed."

"Master, please check on Selenia first, and also, and her children."

Lucien nodded slightly, then knelt down beside Selenia and quickly assessed her injuries.

These wounds, well, they're Bloody Wounds.

Lucien immediately recognized what kind of magic had harmed Selenia.

It just so happens to be the Dark Magic that Quirrell taught him a few days ago, a technique that combines potions and spells.

Simple cuts are not difficult to treat, but the key issue is the effects of those potions.

Lucien let black vortexes appear in his eyes, using his Eye of Magic Sight to analyze the residual magic potion at the wound.

The more Lucien looked, the more serious his expression became.

It's not simply a matter of mixing several potions together, but rather using specific proportions and types to achieve a more complex and troublesome combined effect.

Selenia's own injuries were one aspect, and on the other hand...

Lucien glanced at its abdomen; through the huge, deep incision, he could already see what was inside.

A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

It's still possible to save it.

Liuguang said that it had used a drop of Qilin blood, which had temporarily stabilized the fetus's condition.

But it was still bad; using more Qilin blood was of no use, as the fetus could not withstand the excessive vitality.

Moreover, given Selenia's current condition, she is no longer capable of normal childbirth.

This requires human intervention.

The birth of Unicorn...

Lucien suddenly pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, tapped it with his wand, and several lines of words quickly appeared on the paper.

Lucien handed the paper to Liuguang and continued to use magic to heal Selenia and the child in her womb.

"Liuguang, go find Mr. Scamander!"
